"Happy Purpose of the Father for you, His child, New Year."

08 January, 2011

Hey All: Just thought I'd let you know I'm back in Nairobi. What an amazing three weeks in Samburu village. Quite an adjustment in that simple culture at such a different pace. It was an experience of a lifetime I must say and I have had a few. The power of the Word works in all places as the Spirit goes before us and the seed is sown. It was something to see the gospel work in Samburu lives for the realization of the Father's love and grace through His Son, the cross, forgiveness and hope in Him forever. I taught for some thirty-five hours to a very special group of men. Joseph Leleruk was always at my right hand to interpret my words. I had my meals with his with his wife and three children daily. We must pray for their continued growth and outreach to the 150,000 Samburus as they now have a good foundation of truth and faith. The faithfulness of Christ's Spirit upheld me and gave me such freedom and desire for these ones I was led to. I was wiped out to say the least when I finally arrived back here, but a good night's sleep and a bath and I was off to Kayole yesterday to teach Stan's group following up on his ground work in these special men. Thanks for the prayers and love I felt and feel daily from each of you. I will see how the Spirit flows in sending out e-mails but have much in my heart that I pray will go forth to those who it can benefit. If I am up to it I am hiking into Westlands for a few supplies today as I cook my meals here. Hope to get together with Stan for a little RandR tomorrow. Will take it a day at a time as this venture of grace and love continues. Love to each of you, Cliff

As missionaries we consider cross-cultural missions to be a thrilling expedition, full of challenges and discoveries. Our travels take us to some amazing places and people. As we leave our "base camp" we are blessed to ‘forge streams’ of new relationships and ‘climb mountains’ with those who survive solely on hope. It's a wonderful adventure. Please join us. For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named. That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man. Ephesians 3:14-16, the apostle Paul

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” – Mark Twain
